After I do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache and Davlik Cache,
When I'm restoring Apps through Titanium Backup,
Which option won't mess up the system??
Restore Missing apps with data
Restore all system data
Restore missing apps + all system data
Restore newer versions of user apps
Restore all apps with data
??
I'm quite confused with this.
I do the missing apps + user data. This way if you load a new Rom and it already has apps you had previously Downloaded you dont have to reload them. Jumping from Rom to Rom with different bases though I always recommend reinstalling apps individually and then making a nandroid backup of that Rom in cwm recovery. I've ran into issues with titanium restoring data. so try it and if it doesn't act right then reflash and manually load apps.

I (finally) flashed v2.0 touchmiuiwiz, someone suggested that since nandroid restores cause fc's, that i should flash the rom, reboot, let it load, then go back into cwm and restore data.
i did that, and the music player/camera/gallery/etc still dont work. i guess i'm being forced into titanium backup. question is - does it work if i make a backup ON THIS ROM then restore? or do i have to flash a different rom that doesn't fc said apps, THEN backup, then flash v2.0 and restore?
also, how does tit backup work? after flashing, where do i go to restore data? thanks bros.
anyone? =|
when you make a backup and restore you have to wipe data/factory ereset and it will work from any rom!
titanium backup makes a backup file of all your apps on the sd card and you can backup whenever you want.
so after the data wipe, i re-download titanium backup and restore from there?
Yeah, pretty much. TB Pro you don't have to confirm each app install when restoring. It was expensive but since I flash often it really speeds up the recovery process.
You can back up settings as well as apps. But I would only restore settings if on the same rom, no matter the version, unless significant. But all else, apps you can restore from any rom no problem. However, if you get a FC in an app (sometimes I'd get it for Gmail) you can just wipe the data for that app. It usually resolves the problem.
I flashed sensonic HD rom and when trying to restore apps through titanium backup, the screen gets stuck at "restoring app" and nothing happens..
what might be the problem??
Take a backup of titanium app and it's data (the backup of apps you've made)... clear app data of titanium and reinstall it and see whether it's working?
cleared data but that did not work
Aah well, Try not to restore all apps in a go, may be there's a problem while restoring a particular app??
It gets stuck even while your restoring individual apps??
yes even while restoring individually and tried many apps..
same problem...
even tried wiping cache and dalvic... still same problem..
and these are not system apps either...
Arrghh??
Did you take your backup while you were using ART and now restoring it with Dalvic selected.. Or vice versa??
I also had this issue a few times. I had to restore my user data little by little.
Do you have the latest SuperSU v1.93?
Maybe TB isn't stuck you just have to wait. How many apps do u want to restore? Some apps with big data?
I had rooted my S Duos and faced some problem with boot loop.
I flashed new stock after resetting to factory mode and cache clearing. But now when I use clean Master to clean junk file it shows many previous apps like Lucky Patcher, Titanium Backup under obsolete apks menu as NOT INSTALLED. I have Super backup and had backed up my apps before rooting. Now I deleted those backups also but those apps not getting deleted.
I also think there might be Superuser app also available in memory which could be hidden.
Is there any way to clean those files without harming my msgs and contacts.
Thanks
backup everything

If I flash a ROM and then want to restore all my apps and data, why should I use Titanium?
1. So I see that my google "Backup account" can backup my data and restore apps and there settings and data. So why use Titanium?
2. whats the difference between googles backup and Titanium's?
3. Can I use both together when restoring? I assume google will restore first and then I will restore from Titanium... Is there any reason to restore from google account?
4. And then there's TWRP and its backup: what I understand about this is if I do a backup before I flash Viper Rom then I can flash my backup if I want to return to my old ROM and it will restore the ROM and apps and all data (so I wouldn't need to restore from Titanium and/or google in this scenario?). Is this correct?
Thanks, smoka
the app data that is being talked about is rarely 3rd party app data.

titanium lets you back up apps whenever you please it even lets you keep old copies around if for some reason there is something in an update you don't like.
your assumptions on TWRP are spot on however if you make a backup today and a month down the road you decide to flash back all your apps have data from a month ago and you loose all your new stuff.
Titanium also lets you extract data from a TWRP or CWM backup. at least on an M8 I've only gotten it to work if the backup is on the "internal sd card"
Titanium pro has a lot of additional features scheduled backups. you can sync to a google drive, dropbox, or box account. backing up only data/apps that have changed.

also if you have backups of everything and all you have is a metered net connection you can reinstall the apps without dipping into whatever data pool you have.

ok, so what if I do a Titanium backup and then use TWRP to restore from a backup "a month ago" and then will I still have my most resent Titanium backup to restore or will restoring the TWRP backup erase all my current data (titanium backup) on my phone?
thanks for you response
TWRP will not remove your Titanium backups unless you specifically tell it to wipe your sd card (sdcard2) or your personal data partition(sdcard1) depending on where you have it set to back things up to.

TWRP takes a snapshot of your system in time. I you do a TWRP nandroid, by default it will copy your /boot, /system, /recovery and /data partitions. Think of it like a restore point in Windows Restore - except better
Titanium Backup is more specific (and also or more limited): You use it for your apps and their data.
It becomes useful if you do a clean install as in: wiping your data partition.
Yes, you can also do a partial restore from TWRP and just restore the data partition of any given nandroid after a clean install, but since it's an image of your /data before the wipe it will also restore potential problems. Restoring with TiBu is somewhat "cleaner" since it re-installs your apps from a backup.
I make a nandroid of my system when I want to flash something new - a new rom or new mod - but I want to keep my option to return to my last working setup.
I use TiBu to reinstall my apps after a clean install.
Anyway - you can never have too many backups :laugh:

Hey!
Is there any data backup application which is able to restore system application data (settings data for example, default launcher and so on) without causing crash?
What's the difference between that and what TWRP does when restoring data partition?
It's been a while since I've used it but, Titanium Backup Pro used to be great for that. I would use it to backup apps and their data and restore the apps and data from backup. It was great for when an app would update and the update wouldn't work with root or whatever. It was great for restoring apps on an individual basis instead of everything.

If you change ROMs or switch from stock to a custom ROM, restoring system data will only cause issues. Restoring system data usually only works properly when restoring data in the same ROM you were using when the backup was created or when restoring data in an updated version of the ROM you had when the backup was created. Restoring system data from a ROM other than the ROM in which it was created causes issues such as freezing and glitching.
